- Summary
- Berenice Abbott traces the life and work of French photographer Eugene Atget who began his career in 1898 making photographs and selling them to artists. Abbott describes her meeting with Atget at Man Ray's studio in 1926 and analyzes the photographer's style which "broke all the laws of composition." Among the photographs presented are Atget's studies of Parisian shops and antique signs, his series of interiors, and French landscapes.
